“Faces of EE” builds upon Energy Efficiency Jobs in America. It details the high number of EE jobs in states, metropolitan areas and congressional districts. The images and information you share continue bringing this report to life. The report will be updated in summer 2018.

If selected, your photo or words may be used to illustrate the good jobs that employ real people in our industry. Many decision makers are unaware of the potential our industry provides. Educating them may positively affect an upcoming policy in your own location.

Please tell your peers about this excellent opportunity. We hope to see you and hear from you!
